The Earth Belongs to No One

The Earth Belongs is a compelling honest story of a fifteen year old girl growing up rough England projects. In full evidence is Ani Laurie's exhilarating drama and punch for pulling the plaster off. A coming-of-age story that allows us to get lost in the filmmakers trancelike exhilarating filmmaking. This film looks at present day Britain economic and social conditions for young abandoned teens - without preach or sanctimonious irony. The actress Jessica Barden plays a sassy, heart on her sleeve girl with mad attitude - she gives an outstanding dramatic performance. The youngest of the girls Alana Boden gives a rare striking performance as a teen with trauma. This is the only film I've ever seen which conveys a committed portrayal of truama, crime gun underworld culture.

Striking performances and the opening sequence is visceral and powerful. Great storytelling with the use of sparse dialogue. A lot of surprises in this film, breaking story structure in the second act adds to its strength. Really enjoyed it and highly recommend. Just want to know what happened next?????!!!!!

I'm not big on social issues films as viewing resilience isn't my strong suit, but wanted to watch it for Jessica Barden as a short it feels like a feature and it doesn't disappoint. Jessica Barden's performance is turned down and massively vibrational, nothing like i've ever seen her before. Beuatiful film and the rest of the cast are also amazing.

This story is beautiful and haunting. Told exquisitely with measure, poetry, and hyper realism. The fantastic performances all round deliver the story authentically. I love the way the film comes in heavy and then gives you space to breathe, comes in again. The pacing is incredible.

Ani Laurie is one fine filmmaker you need to see the film to believe it!

A Thriller with a dark twist that keeps you guessing.
